Taking Risk|Three Channels of Risk

Risk = Opportunity, but not all Opportunities are good.

In a vlog video today I talked about taking risk and my take on risk and how they can be effective and provide opportunities but at the same time can be what kills us (physically or mentally). My video was aimed for fitness/health people but this blog will speak to the general population and the same rules will apply but maybe different circumstances. Pay close attention for my post for it may be somewhat beneficial for some of you.

I believe that risk comes in three channels, these channels are: death, depleting of oneself and prosperity/growth. From these channels, you are obviously aware that the last one would be the goal or the most beneficial for us and this is very true. I will break down the differences and discuss each one briefly but somewhat like I did in my video, i will then leave you in thought.

The first channel: Death.

This particular channel means literally dying or mentally decaying yourself to the point of exhaustion.

An example of death: eating disorders, addictions, suicide, depression.. and the list continues.

Most of us know someone or perhaps ourselves can relate to this channel of risk.

This particular channel of risk is dangerous, and normally the ultimate downfall unless we seek help in time.

The second channel: Depleting self.

This channel poses a threat because it can lead us to the channel of death if we are not careful.

An example of depleting self: Trying to be something or someone we are not in order to fit in, allowing others to take advantage of us, having been bullied, traumatic experiences, among many other things

Again we have either dealt with this channel ourselves or know someone who is/has.

This particular channel is giving us a choice in how we respond to this particular risk- in most cases people go into death , but others will grow and learn from it.

The third channel: prosperity and growth.

This channel is about taking a risk that has made you successful, motivational, inspiring, and possibly wealthy in many more ways than just money.

This channel takes sacrifices , but they are sacrifices you can handle and or deal with and not regret it down the line if you made the right choice.

This channel only turns into a bad risk if you choose to react to it in a greedy nature or make yourself seem more inferior to others.

Now that I have covered these three channels of risk, you are probably asking yourself, why would one want to choose death and/or depleting self.. how does one not know that is a bad risk? Well, it isn’t necessarily that one is choosing to be depressed or choosing to be bullied, risk create opportunities and not all opportunities are good ones, so when one chooses to risk losing weight by choosing to eat less and less.. they aren’t necessarily wanting to die they want the opportunity that comes from it – which is being skinny. Now this is may be all very confusing and you can choose to make sense of it however you want, no right or wrong way. I just found myself rambling and decided to share some insight with you. The bottom line is every risk we take effects us either negatively or in a positive manner, we don’t always know until we have taken the risk. Just think about what risk you are willing to take but don’t stop taking them in order to avoid opportunities.

If you are someone who wants to better understand my thoughts, please feel free to watch my YouTube video from today speaking on risk and hopefully it makes somesense.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fZPKcM7iw4. Thanks for reading, feel free to leave comments, share and or like.

Hello! I have just recently graduated with my exercise science degree May 2016, yay! I am more than happy; and decided that since my passion is for fitness/health, I would write about it and share my journey with others because in my opinion health is everything (both mental and physical). I am 24 years old, and reside in the states. I enjoy being active anyway possible and want to get my cert in personal trainer and also be a wellness coach. I love to eat and don't believe in eliminating, but rather moderation. I hope that my blog post will inspire, motivate and encourage you all to want to be the healthiest person you can be! It all begins with "I can" and "I will" :) -Shay-lon
P.S feel free to follow me on social media and or email me, l don't mind answering questions or simply networking. Would love to hear from you all.

Hmm this is interesting! I will definitely check out your video on this. Where would you include someone else putting you at risk in these categories because sometimes others do indirectly put you at risk?
